Not to Mention Ear MuffiersThe management of the Waldorf should lay in a stock of gas masks

Keep Eye on Old FoxKeep an eye on Clark Griffith. The Old Fox must be preparing to

unload something on some of our David Harums. Whenever the Wash¬ington bo..s intends to dicker you may bank upon him seeing to it that hischattel doea not suffer for want of publicity. How tenderly GriiY ve-gards his veteran utility player, Hank Shanks, is a matter of opinion.But the following tribute from the pen of Louis A. Dougher (to onefatfiliar with Griffith's cunning) might be interpreted by Mr. Shanks as8 sign to pack his household goods for delivery to some major leaguecity other than the capital of our country in 1919:

"In al! this chatter of trades and releases, it is not expected thatManager Griffith will part with Hank Shanks, the sweet tenor fromMonaca, Pa. Hank is such a versatile cuss that he is almost a necesisity.

"Apart from his light hitting, Hank makes good wherever he isplayed. He can play all three outfields with sureness and grace. Hebows before no other outfielder, not even Speaker, Cobb, Lewis, Felschor Veach, whom we consider the first five leading gardeners in thatorder. Hank is sure one sweet outfielder.

"When anything goes wrong in the infield, there's Hank waitingto f;!l the hole. He has done good work at third base, fair work atshort and he ousted Ray Morgan from his second base job with com-parative ease.

"It is unfortunate that Hank is not a .290 batsman, for he wouldplay left field all the time if he were, and that's where he shines most.Slow to get away, Hank beats out few slow ones, but his brains makehim a capable base runner, once he lands at first base. Indeed, nobranier a ba.-^e runner now plays in the American League, thoughthere are many with more speed.

"Hank- is a good influence with a bail club. Game as a pebble,he is willing to give his best. -He is aggressive to an extreme, thoughscldom running up against the umpire's ban: In fact, some of the of¬ficials, like Tomroy Connolly and Billy Evans, like to hear Hank rave,for he ii so much in earnest.

"Off the field Hank is a quiet, well-behaved, decent citizen. Heplays baseball more because he likes it than for any other reason.He came to Washington in 1912, and since then has made hundredsof personal friends, while there isn't a fan at Georgia avenue whodoesnt like to see and hear him in action.

"He Is the ideal utility man That's why he'll probably stick withthe Griffs.''

lhe Passing of HeroesSo many brilliant athletes have fallen in the war that even a world'schampion gets but a half-dozen lines or less in the European papers whenhe dies. One whose death passed almost unnoticed was George Parent,who succumbed to pneumonia in Paris,Parent was three times long-distance cycling champion of the world.He began racing in 1905 as an amateur, when he was 20 years old; He

won the championship of France in 1908, and in the next three years heanmially vron the national and world's 100 kilometers (62.1 miles) cham-1pionahip. In his prime he beat Bobby Walthour, Darragon and othersof that calibre, including the best professonals of Brussels, Rome and'Copenhagen. Parent's fatal weakness was a theory that he could trainen beer, and by 1912 he was through. jIn the war he was a typical hero of France. Early in 1914 he re-ceived one bullet in the breast and another in the calf of the leg. In:1915 has was wounded again, was invalided out of the army and became anmnitions worker. j

His record of winning three successive world's long distance cham-pwnships has probably nev_r been equalled, and the memory of his riding!at the Parc des Princes will live for many a day.

Star Athletes Return to Col¬lege Again After Lend-ing Hand to Uncle Sam

After a period of comparative in-activity lasting almost two full years,athletics are to be resumed at Ford-ham University. More than 1,500 mem¬bers of the former student body whohave been engaged in the variousbranches of government service dur¬ing the war have again taken up theirstudiesj in the ciasses which wereformaliy opened dunng the past week.

.Many of tnose who have. returnedto the university are weil known icrtheir atnleuc prowess on'the tracti andm looibaii, DasiietDail and basebah. Itls me opimon oi memuers of tne ath-ieuc board that the Maroon wnl bebetter and more largeiy represented iuthe coiiego athletic world than everbfore.

All that. is now necessary inasmucbas classes have ofticinlly opened is tosecure thc sanction of the faculty tocommenco athletic work. Thc Rev.Father Edward S. Brock, for more thanfive years in charge of athletics at Bos¬ton College whero he developed severalstrong teams, is the new Perfect ofDiscipline at Fordham.Father Brock has taken ovpr the work

of directing athletics for the Maroonand expressed himself yesterday asmore than pleased with the prospectsfor basketball and baseball. Togetherwith Charles Robinson, a senior thomanager of the 1919 Maroon basketballsquad, he has arranged a tentativeschedule of games which with the sanc¬tion of the athletic govcrning body willmean Fordham will meet many of thebig collen-c fives.

Last year Fordham had no 'varsitybasketba 1 team and had to be con¬tent with a i'reshmnn quintet. Thisout it. which included r.uch players a«Dick Groto, "Bill" Finn. Frunk Frishand others made quite a name forthemselves; All of the players on thefirst year 1918 squad have resumedwork at I-ordnam during the week.Jim Ryan. a guard from thc MountSt. Marysteam entered Fordham yes¬terday. 1 he candidates for the teamare anxiously awaiting the sanction ofthe faculty before commencing prac-

Winning StreakThe Erasmus Hall High School'

basketball team added Adelphi Acad-Jemy to its list of victims in swampingthe latter yesterday by the score of48 to 15 on the Flatbush School'scourt. Well-guarded baskets by Eras¬mus Hall prevented the visitors fromscoring oftener. At half time the vic-tors had a lead of 31 tr. Q."Eppy" Barnes, the creek right for¬

ward of Erasmus Hall, was th*e indi¬vidual star of the game. He accbuntedfor nearly half of his team's pointson ten goals from the field. Linoki,left forward. assisted Barnes some-what in the victory by tallying six lieldbaskets.

HO, LANDLORD, A FLAGON OFYOUR BEST WINE!

Wc have recently fallen hair to a

fortune, Aunt Eleanor Ann, and wo

fell all full of thri'us and everything.To-morrow we are going to start diink-hig our fortuno u, as many a gildedyouth has wadod through his patri-mony before, but we aro going todrink this fortune up literally, four-fingers moasttrc at a gulp.Thore arc not going to be any "wild

oats" in connection with this celcbra-tion. Instead-, vvc shall take our usualbreakfust order of rolled oats andcream. We have found that the rolledvariety are much more digostible thanthe "wild" ones and fur cheap'er.We beeame an heir last night, when

the telephone bell gurglod mysterious-ly on our dosk and a voice said: "Iathat you, Boss? Well, this is Silvey,you know, Silvey Burns. Say, I jus'got a lot o' fine Italian red wine, camein this morning from the old country;ain't been opened in live years. GreatstutT, you know, big kick, porka Dio!I'm gonna send a counla o' bottlesdown to you; how long will you bethere?We are a person of few words and

decisive action. "We'll be here untilthe bottles come, Silvey. We'll meetthem at the door with a brass band.Show them in."The Sporting Editor, who had over-

heard our eonveisation, and whoalready had his hat and overcoat onpreparatory to doing the subway glideto his home on the Heights of Wash¬ington, sudenly decided he would stickaround and wait for the big show, and'he got, very chummy right off. He'sthat kind of a pusson, Aunt EleanorAnn.

In due, time the bottle twins wereushered into our august presence, andwe took off our hat and shook handswith them. It was hard to tell theniapart, as they were both dark com-

pjexioned, of tho some build nnd worethe same style of coiks on their heads.The Sporting Editor tried to get on

good terms with one of the bottles atonce, and kept asking if it had everrun across Kid Chianti, in Rome, orthe Haig twins, in Scotland, or youngGordon Gin, in London.The bottle didn't suy a single word,

and finally the Sporting Editor, gettinga bit exasperated, said: "Why don't youtake your hat off?" Seeir.g tho situa¬tion was getting dangerous we grabbedboth the bottle twins and leu them outof thc office by the hand and took themhome. On Sunday afternoon we are go¬ing to have a very serious talk with thetwins, at which time we shall decideupon their future, but we aro afraidthey are both destined to tread thedownward path.

It is reported from London thatJimmy Wilde, the lilliputiu'n, "tangle-foot" champion of the world, is plan-ning to win the bantam and feather-weight titles within the next year nndwill start his lampaigD ns soon as hehas wiped up the rinp; with Pai Moore,of Memphis who gained a decision overJimmy in the international bout.s atLondon last month.

Wilde intends to come to this coun¬try within the next few months. whichwill probably interest "Just" Willard,our reckless heavyweight champion.Although he refuses to mingle withJack Dempsey or any other heavy¬weight who might accidentally leun ahaymnker on his sensitive jawbono,Willi.rd will no doubt grnsp the oppor¬tunity to meet: Wildo at catch weiphts*.Ah the flvweight champion "Just" Will-ai *i would bc ubout in his spherc. andhis battle cry would be, "SWat theflyl"Our old side kick Tom Cassidy, one

WAY!A friend of ours arrived in our palpi-tating midst the other day, Aunt El¬

eanor Ann, and strolled up Broadwaywith us. We were pointing with "na-tive son" pride to the clustered whitelights, the gilded cafes, the ru^hingtaxicabs, all the signs of a hectic hot-house life. But he didn't seem to bcimpresscd a littlo bit."So you cal] this life, do you? You

Broadway babies don't ever go to bcduntil the sun rises, do you? You're alot of wicked Willies here, aren't you?Well, let me whisper to you a little se-cret. You Broadwayites are a lot ofEgyptian mummies compared to Phila-dolphians. I've been down in the'Sleepy City,' as you call it, for acoupie of months, and I've come back toBroadway for the rest cure. In Phila¬delphia they not only put the sun to'bed, but they wake it up in the morn-mg and dress it and send it to school,and they lead the moon around by thehand all night and put wet towels onits head when it's full."When I get my health back I'm

going to take another whirl at old'Philly, but my physician has orderedme to have absolute quiet for the nextfew weeks, and that's why I'm here."

urishes Despite War* WingedFoot' Gave Over 500

Members to Beat the HunIn Meantime Organization

Played Host to 100,000Soldiers and Sailors

By A. C. CavagnaroAlthough the majority of the big

athletic clubs of the country sufferedsomewhat from the unsettled condi¬tions during the past year this was notthe case with the New York AthleticClub, according to the annual reportwhich was mailed to the thousands ofmembers yesterday.

In truth 1918 proved the biggest yearin the history of the club. The sur¬

plus for the tiscal year ending Novem¬ber 30 was $1,415,381,87, which is ap¬proximately $60,000 more than lastyear. This is especialiy gratifying inview of the fact that the club had tocontend with the general increase incost of labor and supplies.The sinking fund of the club, which

was begun in 1914 for the purpose ofmeeting any emergency, has nowreached the toal of $160,386.37, ofwhich $100,000 is made up of Libertybonds. The assets of the club are $2,-182,829.

Nearly 6,000 MembersThe club now can also boast of hav¬

ing the iargest membership in the his¬tory of the Winged Foot organi*;ation.which ceiebrated its fiftieth anniver¬sary last September. The roster of theclub contains 5,692 names. showing anincrease in membershin for the yearof 189 men.Morc than five hundred of the club

members joined Uncle Sam's ranks inthe war against the Boche and twelveof them gave their lives. Among thosewho made tho supreme sacrifice weresome of the most enthusiastic workersfor tho organization. They includedMajor James A. McKenna, jr., MajoriJohn Purrcy Mitchel, Major Henry I).Gi 11, Commander James S. Beecher,Lieutenant Herbert A. Buermeyer.nephew of the only living founder ofthc- club; Lieutenant John W. Overton,Lieutenant Louis J. Ledcrle, jr., Lieu-tenant Marshall G. Peabodv, Lieuten-ant Arthur L. Engels, Cadet WaVk-sB. Bradley. jr., Private D. F. Fergiisonand Sergeant Richard D. Hamilton, jr.Arthur McAleenan, captain of the

track and field team, did" not make a

report on the point scoring activiticsof the athletes of the organization, asthe club early took the stand that.with this country at war sports shouldbe t.aboo.

Mr. McAleenan's report is thereforebrief. lt says in part:

"I am pleased to submit herewithmy reoort of the athletic activitiesduring the past year. In a sense theEctua! athlet'c activities of the club,aside from those fosterc-d in the cluh-house. such as boxing, wrestling, fenc-inf, etc. have been curtailed to a pointwhere I have no report to make. Thisis due to the decision of the c'ub lastyear not to be represented in anychampionship events, and also to thefact that approximately ninety percent of our athletic members are inthe servic-1. Therefore there are nochanipionships to be repDrted and thenumber of points scored are so smallthat it is not worth while to >publishthem."At the outbreak of the wsr, as out-

lined in my report of last year, all

Gossip ofOwing to his severe attack of in-

fluenza, Gordon Smith, the professionalof the Sunnyside Country Club, was

obliged to cancel his engogement atAugusta, where he was to have as-

sisted David Ogilvie for the winter.jSmith, who has recovered from his ill¬ness, will teach indoor this-winter golfat a New York school.This indoor work at the nets is of

far more benefit to the beginner than«nere exercise, as the rudiments of thegame aro taught, and without the foun¬dation of the game one makes but lit¬tle progress in the way of improve-ment when he goes out on the linksin the spring. Even golfers who havehad many years of experience upon tnelinks and have acquired bad form canhave their faults corrected and betaught a more perfect style, which willbe a great benefit to them when theybegin their spring practice on the turf.

It iB expected that many of the notedamateur golfers, who have been inthe serviee will again be seen on thelinks this year in the various cham-pionships, among whom will ba RobertA. Gardner, national champion in 1909and 1915 and the runner-up to CharlesEvans, jr., in 1916; E. P. Allis, the in-tercollegiate champion of 1914; Ham¬ilton K. Kerr, the Connecticut statechampion of 1915, and James H. Hyde,the South Shore champion, who hasbeen prominent in many tourneys, andthere are a host of others not ffuiteas prominent, who have seen servieeabroad. Among other top notchers,who were in the serviee, even thoughthey were not sent abroad, were Fran-cis Quimet, national open champion of1913, national amateur champion of1914 and Massachusetts amateur cham¬pion in 1913, 1914 and 1915.

The annual meeting of the New Jer¬sey State Golf Association is to beheld Tuesday, January 28. The mostimportant matter to be brought beforethe meeting is the resurnption of theannual championship and the award-ing of the event. This, however. ispractically settled and the meeting willbe merely a matter of form. The eventwas given to the Deal Golf and Coun¬try Club in 1917, but it was postponedon account of the war. The Deal clubis having its course thoroughly over-hauled for tlie event.

Nathan Schroeder, the president ofthe association, has written to'E. F.Holden, jr., the secretary, asking thelatter to ascertain whether the DealGolf Club still wanted to eonduct thestate championship. Deal does wantit and will give the New Jersey golfersa course to play over that calls fortheir best efforts. Donald Ross, thecourse architect, spent some days lastfall going over the course and mapp'ngout the many -changes that will make\he course one of the finest tests ofgolf in the metropolitan district.
